Day fifty one on Duramine (metermine) 40mgs-
So.. Ate carbs today- not cake, at least there's that. For breakfast i had a fruit salad made with kiwifruit, honey dew, rock melon, strawberries and fresh pineapple. Borrowed a Leslie Sansone Just walk ultimate 5 day walk plan dvd from the library and after trying out another dance aerobic dvd and finding it appallingly bad i popped it on and did the Monday 3 mile (4.8km) walk. I started with Monday figuring it would be best to start from the beginning. I found the workout to be suitably low impact and had no issues with my knee at all. Leslie was a bit chipper
but i didn't find her to be condescending or abrasive as other instructors had come across instead she had an aura of support and friendly helpfulness (is that a word?) that i found endearing. Primarily the walking workout involved walking in place, marching, grapevine walks, side steps, leg lifts, kicks and various arm movements. Tomorrow is 4 mile (6.3km) followed by 2 miles (3.2km) for two days then 5 miles (8km). Each walking workout is followed by a strength training session. I'm thinking it's a keeper. I got really hungry about an hour after the workout and started craving cake, i settled on a pineapple ring and a strawberry. For tea i ate 2 burrito wraps- hence the carbs. In the not so distant past i would have eaten loads more than 2 but i still feel slightly guilty about it, even had a well if you were going to eat carbs anyway why couldn't it have been cake moment . My reasoning behind eating more than just the meat was as the meat alone would have been a really minute amount if i was still hungry i might have been tempted to give in to cake or shapes or bread and then eaten a ridiculous amount, as i am at the arse end of the fortnight any fresh protein and salad is gone and i can only eat so much fruit. It might have been a mistake but what can i say, i'm trying. Had 2.5 litres of water today. Made appointment at doctors for next weeks weigh in today too.
